THE North-East was a key area in the Brexit vote.
Here is how people from town's and cities across the region have been reacting on Twitter to the news that Britain is coming out of the EU.
DARLINGTON
Darlington out. You, my friends are little darlings. Every day of the week #leave #EUref @MailOnline

DURHAM
Basically this EU out stuff was written in the stars as soon as Durham voted to leave Stockton.
— Edward Pinches (@PinchesEd) June 24, 2016
Horrified by Durham. 0% respect for the area I live in. Can't wait to get out of this place. Gonna just scowl at the old people in my town
— Flynn Moore (@silverhairbxtch) June 24, 2016
Monsoon of biblical proportions over Durham at the moment. Does Brussels have a hand in this? #Brexit
— Haydn Costin (@cozzyleicester) June 24, 2016
Absolutely lashing it down in Durham tell you what didn't rain like this when we were in the EU 🌞🌧
— @RPCuthbert74 (@rpcuthbert74) June 24, 2016
I'm ashamed to be from the north east today and especially to be from Durham. The EU wasn't perfect but this future looks to be worse

HARTLEPOOL
70% of Hartlepool voted out ....so that's where all the multi millionaires live eh.....
— Peter Wheaton (@wheaton_peter) June 24, 2016
@lwcooper turns out hanging a monkey wasn’t the most stupid thing Hartlepool ever did.
— David McGeorge (@davymacca) June 24, 2016
Hartlepool also voting out the EU with 70% despite receiving EU grants and having 0 immigration
— Tom Geen (@tomgeeno) June 24, 2016
7 out of every 10 people in Hartlepool voted to leave. I wish I could say I was surprised
— Esther (@_esther_brown_) June 24, 2016
Does Jeremy Corbyn understand 'his' electorate? 25% OUT for his Islington home, 70% OUT for Hartlepool; a @labour heartland
— Tony Forrest (@ForrestTonyf) June 24, 2016
A result I was waiting for as my dad is from there & have a lot of family here... So so disappointed in Hartlepool for voting out!
— Emma (@Emlops) June 24, 2016
SUNDERLAND
honestly y'all talking about how ~ignorant chavs~ made brexit happen need 2 check urselves & think WHY areas like sunderland voted out
— rosie (@rosieisnthere) June 24, 2016
Sad thing for all the working class 'Leave' voters, they've just guaranteed a Tory gov for years to come. Looking at you Sunderland. #Brexit
— Lynsey Coleman (@lynseycoleman) June 24, 2016
If Nissan Car plant in North East closes because of Brexit a lot of people from Sunderland will be out of work yet they voted Leave? Baffled
— jim macred (@smokejack) June 24, 2016
Boris should move to Sunderland. So he can stay close to the people he represents. #Boris #Brexit
